Bader Organ Zutphen Holland





HISTORY

In 1639 Hans Henrich Bader receives a contract for adding a new Rugpositief to the existing organ. After this work is completed, a few years later, a contract follows for a new Hoofdwerk and Pedal. The resulting instrument will remain virtually unchanged until 1813.

In 1813, Wilhelmus Johannes Timpe completes an extensive renovation of the instrument and on that occasion the organ is moved from the north side to the choir of the church. Timpe, builds a new support structure under the existing organ case and locates windchests of the Hoofdwerk in the former lower organcase. Behind the original Hoofdwerk façade he instals a new Bovenwerk. He constructs new windchests, manuals, mechanisms and bellows and wind channels. The disposition of the instrument is substantially amended and expanded. He also lowered the pitch.

In 1824 NA Lohman adds a bellows and replaces the Viola di Gamba 8 'of the Bovenwerk.

In 1906, the organ is moved by G. Spit to the tower wall of the church. On this occasion all reeds are replaced.

In 1976 SF Blank performed a partial restoration of the disposition of the Hoofdwerk.

In 1996 a complete restoration follows by Orgelmakerij Gebr. Reil.
The Hoofdwerk, Rugpositief and Pedal are returned, as much as possible, to the condition of 1643 and Bovenwerk of Timpe is also maintained. The Hoofdwerk receives a new windchest. Also, all reeds are replaced. The remaining pipes are repaired and where necessary completed. The remaining Bader Pipes are mainly found in the Hoofdwerk and Rugpositief and also the Prestanten of the pedal are original. The Bovenwerk is largely Timpe, with exception of the Prestant 8' and Roerfluit 8', which are Bader also. The winding consists of five bellows, four of which date from 1643. Presently the organ is tuned in 1 / 6 comma mean tone tuning.
Orgelmakerij Gebr. Reil bv, Heerde, thoroughly restored the organ and returned it to its original 1639 character in the period 1993-1996.

The Bader Organ is one of the largest organs in the Netherlands from the period of the late Renaissance.
